Finances are key at Hearts

Hearts have been moving up the Scottish Premier League  (SPL) table, but manager Paulo Sergio thinks that the key task facing the indebted club is to sort out its finances and get them on an even keel.  He accepts that he will have to use young players as more senior players depart to trim the wage bill.

Hearts have been moving up the Scottish Premier League  (SPL) table, but manager Paulo Sergio thinks that the key task facing the indebted club is to sort out its finances and get them on an even keel.  He accepts that he will have to use young players as more senior players depart to trim the wage bill.


Hearts players were paid their December wages hours after a SPL tribunal ruled on the matter earlier this week.   Segio is confident that wages will be paid in the coming months, even if there is some delay, and that the club will escape punitive sanctions from the SPL.
